true audiophiles prefer analog because it is far superior to any digital music.

there is a difference. The average person has an untrained ear and cannot tell the difference.

I agree. A dust free record, a well maintained needle, and when it hits that vinyl, it's pure butter.

However, I sometimes have a problem mounting my turntable on my hip when going out for a walk. During those times, I enjoy my Ipod.

You said — true audiophiles prefer analog because it is far superior to any digital music. there is a difference. The average person has an untrained ear and cannot tell the difference.

That’s what I “hear” from others who claim to be “audiophiles” — but I wouldn’t know if they really do or not. I suppose they can tell...

BUT, even so... they’re not going to be able to carry it around with them in analog... LOL...

I suppose they can do the “analog trip” at home and in some special listening room... but otherwise (elsewhere...), they’re going to get digital... :-) At any rate, you’re probably talking about 1% of the market for all of these kinds of things that are sold, who are going to insist on “analog” instead of digital (if it’s even that much...).
